Anthony Belton, the Green Bay Packers' second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, made headlines by attending 14 pre-draft visits, showcasing his appeal across the league. Packers coach Matt LaFleur noted Belton's visit as part of a demanding pre-draft schedule that can be taxing for players. While analysts had anticipated Belton would be a third- or fourth-round selection, his selection at No. 54 overall suggests that multiple teams saw greater potential in him. This trend aligns with the Packers' strategy under GM Brian Gutekunst, who favors drafting players they have interviewed.

Belton's background is intriguing; he was a three-year starter at North Carolina State, overcoming early career challenges as a zero-star recruit. His ability to perform at the Senior Bowl and combine adds to his profile, but concerns linger about his history of penalties and a unique incident of in-game ejection. His future in the league hinges on not just talent but also discipline.
